Coming to the future......

It's a whole new word, a term that has never been heard anywhere else.

It is said that almost every day Cecil "pops up" such new words from a variety of fields, they are used to describe the ever-changing magic techniques, to speak of the changing order of Cecil, and the proud citizens of Cecil take pride in mastering and using these new words, which has even become a kind of label used by many people to flaunt "decency".

Yuri had been puzzled by this when he listened to the small talk, but now that he looked at the impressive facility in front of him, and sketched the scene Gawain had described in his mind, he suddenly understood a little.

This is indeed a great creation that anyone should flaunt with pride, even blind pride.

To the irony of the Archbishops of the Eternal Sleepers, the technological basis of this creation originated from the Order of Eternal Sleep - for hundreds of years, they had held this age-changing technology in their hands, but they had never thought like Gawain Cecil, and they carefully hid the technology deep underground along with their "great plan", and they saw it as a "forbidden weapon" to challenge the gods, and a "forbidden weapon"...... Nature is rare, secretive, precious, and must be isolated from "ordinary people".

Gawain looked at the silent archbishops, knowing in his heart what they were thinking.

Their courage in defying the gods is certainly commendable, but the idea of individual heroism to save the world alone limits their direction, and like almost all transcendents of this era, they have never thought of, nor believed, in collective power—and naturally do not understand what a state apparatus is, let alone a universal war.

"We've spent centuries going around in circles, burying ourselves in the ground, to the point that our heads are suffocated," Magnum muttered (at a loud volume that could be heard by the whole audience), "hundreds of years......"

"These hundreds of years have not been in vain," Gawain shook his head, "it is you who laid the technical foundation, and no one can deny that. Pioneering a technology is the hardest part, and thankfully you've done it. ”

"I have a question," Wendy, who had never spoken, suddenly broke her silence, "Your Majesty, according to your plan, do you plan to cover the entire empire with a similar computing center, and then let ordinary people access the network through that kind of device called the 'immersion pod'?" ”

Gawain nodded: "Of course." ”

"Would the average person be willing to do that? Contribute your own brain power...... Although it may be redundant computing power, the majority of people who are skeptical are definitely in doubt, after all, this is to connect themselves to the mysterious and powerful 'magic', and most people rarely have the opportunity to touch magic in their lifetime......"

"I'm glad to see that an Eternal Sleeper priest is now starting to think from the perspective of ordinary people, but I want to correct you one thing first - in Cecil, 'ordinary people' are not as difficult to access magic as you think," Gawain interrupted Wendy, "Secondly, after the initial doubts, the public will soon start welcoming this thing, and then we will even have to take certain measures to limit the use of the immersion pod by the public, in case it affects the production order of the real economy. ”

As he spoke, Gawain beckoned not far away, and Yuri and the others were full of doubts because of Gawain's words, and were about to ask, when they heard a pleasant and metallic trilling voice suddenly "floating" from nearby: "Coming, coming, Your Majesty!" I've just calibrated the power ridge in the west side area! ”

As the words fell, a huge silver-white metal ball with a wonderful smile on the surface had already floated in front of Gawain, and the bright surface reflected the stunned faces, Magnum subconsciously exclaimed: "My ancestors and ancestors...... What is this?! ”

Before Gawain could speak, Nicholas Egg had already twisted his face (ball) and flew in front of Magnum, and a curious metal trill came from the silver-white metal ball: "Ah, bearings and gears!" What is this? ”

As he spoke, he quickly circled Magnum twice, and the latter's flickering psychological projection instantly dissipated out of thin air, and even Selena not far away was affected, and Nicholas Egg exclaimed as he flew: "Strange, immaterial, and the interweaving of energy bodies, mixed with subtle magnetic fields that can interfere with the nerve signals of carbon-based creatures, seem to have no fixed form, but constantly demarcate their own scope and characteristics through energy interaction...... Somewhat similar to Kamel, but much more blurry...... Ah, levers and pistons! This mass even has an emotional reaction!! ”

Magnum's eyes were almost round, and he exclaimed as he tried to dodge the invisible forbidden magic field around Nicholas Egg, "What the hell is this terrible orb talking about!" ”

"Nicholas, this is a guest," Gawain finally reacted at this time, and hurriedly stopped the strange behavior of the Iron Ball Star Man, and after calling the other party back, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What you see in your eyes is an energy body that has no fixed form?" ”

"To correct me, the ball is not looking with 'eyes', but a ...... Well, it's okay to be an eye, that's easy to understand," Nicholas Egg replied casually, "as for the energy body...... Strictly speaking, I feel like it's some kind of intertwined 'field', and I know it's easy to confuse the two concepts, but they're just not the same......"

Gawain quickly understood what had just happened, and realized that he had overlooked some key points: although Nicholas Egg was always an intelligent creature who could communicate with humans normally, and had the joys and sorrows that humans could understand, he was after all an "alien lifeform" with a very strange life form, and when confronted with something that the human senses were accustomed to, he probably observed something very different!

This is the most obvious example - Magnum and Selena have become spiritual beings living in a psychic network, and they are able to appear in front of ordinary people by relying entirely on "psychological projections", creating the illusion of their own "existence" by disturbing the five senses of the observer, but Nicholas Egg ...... He doesn't have a nervous system, at least not a human one.

He could still sense the presence of Magnum and Selena, but what he "saw" each other was a large intertwined, turbulent but orderly "field......

This is an important phenomenon that may be used in the future in research fields such as ...... A further analysis of the magic?

Gawain shook his head slightly, put aside the research ideas that suddenly popped up in his heart for the time being, he briefly introduced the Eternal Sleepers on the scene, and then pointed to Nicholas and said to Yuri and the others: "This is the great craftsman of the empire, Nicholas, you will often deal with this great craftsman in the future." ”

"If you are not familiar with me, please call me by my full name, St. Nicholas Egg," said the silver-white metal orb fluttering twice in mid-air, in a reserved and proud tone, "and in terms of seniority, you need to have some respect for me—the Great Craftsman is a great position." ”

Magnum looked at the metal orb in front of him with trepidation—he sighed in his heart that this land ruled by the Wanderers of the Territory was full of terrible and strange things, but he didn't say what he was thinking directly.

After observing for two seconds, he decided to say hello to the other party, which might help to bring the two parties closer together and reduce some unnecessary dangers in the future "working together": "Nice to meet you, Mr. Nicholas Egg...... Sir, uh, or ma'am? Sorry, are you a boy or a girl? ”

Gawain gave Magnum a deep look.

Once again, Yuri failed to stop his old partner from speaking freely.

In fact, he didn't want to stop him that much, and even everyone else did - the archbishops had a subtle tacit understanding on this point.

Everyone has worked together for many years, and they know their own temperaments and personalities, and many times they are actually happy to see Magnum take the initiative to speak, this loud and straightforward former God of War priest can always say what everyone wants to say but is not easy to say directly, this is the case in any occasion, so that only Magnum himself can offend people, while others can enjoy the information Magnum exchanged for after he spoke.

There is no doubt that this is a good thing.

"You should call me 'sir'!" Nicholas Egg's buzzing voice suddenly rose to an end, Magnum offended people again—or possibly the balls—and the others got the answer, "Damn, you don't have eyes, this ball has such a distinct sexual ......"

This time it was even Gawain who fell silent.

He felt that it would be too strange for the topic to continue.

"Stop—you'll have time to bond later," he said in a deep voice, instantly quieting everyone in the room, "Let's get back to business." Nicholas, which room is available now? ”

"A room that can be used? The computing facilities on the second floor are available, and the third floor needs to be adjusted. ”

Gawain nodded (things are finally back on track): "Take us to the second floor, prepare a set of immersion pods, and activate the second demo sample." ”

"Wait a minute."

Nicholas said simply, then stepped back a little, and it directly activated a nearby device with an invisible magnetic field, and with a very slight buzzing sound, Yuri and the others saw a half-moon-shaped lifting platform descend from the vicinity of the mental hub.

Gawain was the first to walk towards the platform, followed by the others.

The pyramid facility is not yet fully completed, and there are many areas in it that are still being put to the finishing touches, but some rooms have already been delivered, and in order to commission the equipment has been put into operation, under the leadership of Nicholas Egg, the group entered the second floor of the facility, and passed through a corridor that was not very long, and finally, they came to a clean and well-lit room that had been cleaned up.

In the center of the spacious room was a cylinder made of alloy, and more than a dozen silver-white immersion pods were neatly arranged around the column, with rune chains and devices shaped like artificial nerve cords connecting those immersion pods with the cylinder in the center of the room, and on that column, Yuri and the others once again felt magical fluctuations similar to the mental hubs in the hall.

As Gawain said, each of the mind-connecting devices in this facility is connected to the massive pillar in the center of the hall.

Gawain came to an immersion pod with the hatch open, glanced at the archbishops, and smiled: "Does anyone want to try Cecil's 'psychic network'?" ”

The archbishops looked at each other, and after several people exchanged glances with each other, it was Wendy who was the first to stand up.

"Lady first," the beautiful lady smiled, walking over to the immersion pod, "and I've been interested in Cecil's 'magic technique' for a long time. How do I use it? Lie in? Are there any spells or spells I need to prepare? ”

"You can just lie in, this is for ordinary people, naturally there is no need for any spells and spells," Gawain said casually, "The experience time is only ten minutes, you won't feel tired." ”

Wendy nodded, and lay down in the immersion pod with the help of amber on the side, and then under the gaze of the other archbishops, with a slight clatter of the hatch, the immersion pod closed, and the rune chains connected to the device and the many runes on the base of the immersion pod instantly lit up one by one.

Magnum watched this scene with wide eyes, and couldn't help muttering while caring about the development of things: "At least from the perspective of comfort, this thing is much stronger than ours......"

"You don't have to think about that now," Yuri glanced at him, "unless you can burrow back into your body." ”

Magnum clasped his hands to his chest: "What if! What if! ”

Except for the two of them, almost everyone at the scene did not say a word, just waited intently for Wendy to end the "experience", and they did not wait too long.

Ten minutes later, the lid of the immersion chamber was gently opened.

Wendy sat up from it with a hint of confusion after being disconnected, and her fellow citizens immediately gathered around, but in the face of the curious archbishops, her first reaction was to look at Gawain: "Can I watch it a little longer?" The plot has just begun......"

Yuri couldn't help but be curious: "What did you see in it?" ”

"It's an immersive theater," Gawain spoke before Wendy could speak, "but since it's a beta thing, I can only reproduce a few short clips at the moment - Wendy, you've seen it all, but rest assured, it will be perfected soon, and there will be more in it in the future than immersive theater." ”

Speaking of this, he smiled slightly: "Now, do you think ordinary people will be willing to lie in here and contribute computing power?" ”

"Let me make sure," Wendy began, "that this device and what it presents don't need to be maintained by the caster?" Unlike Dream City, which needs to absorb the user's mental power at all times, there will be no hidden danger of spiritual pollution? ”

Gawain nodded: "Of course." ”

"Then I don't have any doubts—" Wendy said quickly, "I'd be willing to pay if I were a normal person!" ”
